Question

    The transformation of nitrates to gaseous nitrogen is accomplished by microorganisms in a series of biochemical reactions. The process is known as:

    A Nitrification Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Ammonification Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Nitrogen fixation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Denitrification Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Volatilization Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Denitrification is a microbial facilitated process where nitrate is reduced and ultimately produces molecular nitrogen through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products
